trip stats

another bike tour.
our first being Manitoulin Island...this time we set our sights on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland.

although our original rough idea (there were no plans here, only plane tickets) was part Avalon, part Bonavista Peninsula, it wasn't until we got there that we realized just how much work this hilly province really was going to be. we started out northwest, around Conception Bay, then headed south for a tour around The Irish Loop.
gruelling uphills that almost had me in tears, but with spectacular payoffs.
